Re: Comment on comments (or lack of)

Back on Topic:

Artists are insecure little egomaniacs to some degree or another, so if you comment expect some kind nutty response at some point. Just look at the opinions expressed in this thread. Is it any wonder commentators run for the hills. Almost every aspect of the comments that are left have been complained about in a thread that is, at least loosely, trying to encourage folks to make more comments. Luckily the people who don't comment on the images don't read the forums either

That's not to say that I am above it all. Hardly. I have had pretty much every reaction described herein, to every type of comment mentioned. The thing that is universal by posting in a public gallery you have to take the good with the bad. Personally, when I post, I don't want comments that tell me what is wrong with my image. I show my images to a number of people ahead of time to get that type of feedback. Negative statements bum me out when I think about how they are going to be there for as long as the image is up. However, no matter the type of comments I receive I am grateful that someone took the time to leave them.
